PML-N UK Leadership gets a fresh extension as party president Nawaz Sharif approves another year for the current team in Britain. The official notification came out on November 8, 2026, from Deputy Prime Minister and Senator Ishaq Dar, who also leads the party’s international affairs and overseas Pakistanis wing.
All existing office-bearers of the PML-N UK chapter will now continue in their roles until September 22, 2027. This includes UK President Ahsan Dar and Youth Wing President Khurram Butt. Senator Dar expressed confidence that the team will keep working hard, stay united, and focus on strengthening the party as well as serving Pakistan.
Ahsan Dar, a British-Pakistani businessman who runs a security company in the UK, first took charge as PML-N UK president in October 2024. He stepped in after a major reorganisation ordered by Nawaz Sharif and replaced the previous leadership that had been in place for nearly two decades under Zubair Gull. Ahsan’s earlier role providing professional security for Nawaz Sharif during his long stay in London helped build trust within the party’s overseas structure.
Since taking over, Ahsan has focused on reorganising local chapters, expanding regional networks, and bringing more supporters together across Britain. In December 2024 he arranged one of the largest PML-N UK gatherings in recent years, drawing close to one thousand people. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif travelled from Pakistan to attend as the chief guest.
Khurram Butt has played an active part in youth mobilisation, political campaigning, and organising events that support the party leadership in the UK. He has also been involved in matters linked to the security of the Sharif family in London, including reporting alleged threats to the Metropolitan Police and opposing former prime minister Imran Khan’s bid to become Oxford University chancellor.
In his response, Ahsan Dar thanked Nawaz Sharif and Senator Ishaq Dar for their continued trust. He said the team remains committed to uniting party workers, serving the Pakistani community in Britain, and promoting the vision of Nawaz Sharif with renewed energy.
The extension keeps the current PML-N UK structure stable and signals clear confidence from the central leadership in the work already underway.
